Many Faces

First grade students completed a unit on drawing the human figure this spring.

Everyone created many drawings with pencil.

Next ink was added to their portraits.

The final step was to add a wash of color to their drawings.

Students used either warm colors for their watercolor wash or cool colors.

Everyone enjoyed being part of the creative process.

Although this was a challenging project for students, they really pushed themselves and grew through the process.

Here are some examples of the students’ work:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Color

 

Kindergarten students recently completed their line drawings by adding washes of color.

 

Students first spent a session creating many line drawings in ink using various types of repeated lines.

 

 

Using the color wheel, everyone followed a pattern with the employment of their watercolor paint.

 

Students were fully engaged in the creative process.

 

This was a great project to introduce the students to many new art concepts and mediums.
